NEW DELHI: A passenger on board an IndiGo Airlines flight from Delhi to Mumbai created a scare on Thursday when he falsely claimed there was a bomb
in the aircraft and asked the crew to divert the plane to Pakistan.

According to a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) official, the passenger, later identified as Sanjay Malik, created panic at around 11.45 a.m. when the flight 6E 181 was on its final approach to the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport.

The captain of the aircraft alerted the air traffic control of Mumbai airport. A Quick Response Team of the CISF, a paramilitary force that guards airports and important industrial installations across the country, was deployed at the airport.

The team took over the aircraft as soon as it landed at around 11.45 a.m. and checked it but could not find any bomb.

The CISF detained the passenger and later handed him over to Mumbai Police who were questioning him to find out his motive.

The CISF official said the passenger seemed mentally disturbed.

For the IndiGo airlines, this was the second instance of panic midair. On Feb 2, its flight E 664 made an emergency landing at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport as three passengers created a hijack scare during the flight.

After landing, the plane was taken to an isolation bay and passengers were asked to remain seated as commandos checked the aircraft. The three passengers were later detained for unruly behaviour.

Mumbai: Security agencies in Mumbai went through some tense moments on Thursday when a passenger on an incoming flight from Delhi created panic by claiming that there was a bomb onboard and that the plane be diverted to Pakistan.

The incident happened at around 11.45 am when the Indigo Airlines flight 6E 181 was on its final approach to Mumbai Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport.

The 28-year-old Malik, who hails from Haryana, boarded the flight at Delhi and when he was served apple juice while flying, he said that there was a bomb in the juice packet.

He then asked for the flight to be diverted to Pakistan, creating panic amongst the passengers and the crew.

The captain of the aircraft immediately alerted the ground controllers about the threat, throwing Mumbai airport into a tizzy.

The Quick Response Team of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) was alerted of the emergency. The Indigo aircraft was then given priority landing and as soon as it landed, the QRT men stormed the aircraft and detained the man.

The CISF later handed over the man to the Mumbai Police; who are now grilling him about the motive behind his actions. Malik’s antecedents are also being thoroughly checked.

Unconfirmed media reports, quoting CISF men who took part in the operation, are claiming that Sanjay Malik had said, “I am a Pakistani and I want to do something for the country.”

NEW DELHI: A businessman running behind schedule triggered a bomb scare on an airplane in a desperate attempt to catch his flight, police said on Tuesday.

Vijay Khandelwal, 35, was stuck in a traffic jam on the way to New Delhi airport last week when he realised he would miss the IndiGo plane to Kolkata unless it was held up, senior police officer Satyendra Garg said.

Khandelwal was arrested after he confessed to making a hoax call on his mobile phone.

"Just to delay the flight's departure, he telephoned the call centre of the airline and announced there was a bomb in the aircraft," Garg said.

Security officials at the airport were alerted, and launched a major emergency operation to search passengers and luggage.

Police arrested Khandelwal by tracing his mobile number and taking a statement from his taxi driver, who had overheard him making the hoax call and refused to drop him at the airport.

Authorities declared the emergency over after 90 minutes and the plane took off four hours late.

His deadbody was not useful FOR India in anyway. Tell me , if he is dead than how can India prove to the word that he is Pakisthani & Pakistan ISI is behind these attacks?

Does the world really not know that it is Pakistani' sponsored terrorism that India is a victim of? Why is India trying to prove to anyone? What has India achieved by 'proving'? India ought to remember that we can wake up someone who is asleep, but we cant wake up someone who is feiging sleep.
